Frequently asked questions

Can anyone purchase Class 3 NFA firearms?

A buyer can only buy Class 3 NFA Firearms if they meet state and federal criteria. The buyer must be 21 years old, have a background check passed, and have the tax stamp needed. One must also check local laws, as some state regulations may limit ownership. An experienced dealer helps the buyer comply with requirements, process documentation neatly, and avoid headaches.

What types of firearms are classified under Class 3 NFA?

Class 3 NFA firearms include machine guns, suppressors, short-barreled rifles (SBRs), short-barreled shotguns (SBSs), and destructive devices. These firearms are regulated under the National Firearms Act (NFA) and require specific licensing, background checks, and a tax stamp for legal ownership.

Are there state restrictions on Class 3 NFA firearms?

Yes, Class 3 NFA firearms are restricted in certain states, with some prohibiting ownership altogether while others impose additional regulations. Some states allow suppressors but ban machine guns or short-barreled rifles, requiring buyers to verify local laws before purchasing. Even in states where NFA items are legal, extra permits, registration, or compliance with strict transport laws may be necessary.

How is shipping handled for Class 3 NFA firearms?

Class 3 NFA firearms cannot be shipped directly to your home and must be transferred through a licensed Class 3 FFL dealer. The transfer process requires strict approval, background checks, and a tax stamp before the firearm can be released to the buyer. Shipping times vary depending on dealer regulations. Always check federal and state laws to ensure compliance before purchasing.
